After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Chapter 354 Industrial Development

"At present, Lulutong has the largest number of stores. It has set up branches in eight prefectures, including Lanzhou, Qingzhou, and Liuzhou, with a total of 45 branches. In addition to these branches, Lulutong has also purchased hundreds of high-quality properties and shops, which can be kept for its own use or sold at any time to become store resources for other brands."

"The second largest restaurant in terms of number of stores is Yipin Guo. With the widespread use of chili peppers, hot pot, skewers, spicy hot pot and other food businesses have quickly developed in Lanzhou. Regardless of other things, there are already seven hot pot restaurants in the market that are similar to Yipin Guo. We expect the number to increase in the coming period."

"However, these similar stores are inferior to our Yipin Guo in terms of taste, quality control and service. They are just a little cheaper than us. Over time, the impression left in the minds of the people that our Yipin Guo is the most authentic and high-end among so many hot pot restaurants."

"Most of the customers who already like to eat at our restaurant will eventually choose to come back to Yipin Guo even if they go to other restaurants to try new dishes, because they have money and want to eat the best."

"Even customers who think our prices are high will choose Yipin Guo when the store holds promotions. So, after the sharing of pepper resources, our Yipin Guo business is indeed affected, but the impact is not significant."

"The hot pot business in Lanzhou is gradually becoming saturated, so I started the external expansion of Yipin Guo. Yipin Guo follows the pace of Lulutong. Wherever there is Lulutong, Yipin Guo will open stores there. It must be said that with Lulutong as a pioneer, Yipin Guo saves a lot of trouble in opening branches in other states."

"Of course, Yipin Guo is not like Lulutong, which has a large reserve of personnel. Its expansion is much slower. Currently, there are 18 Yipin Guo stores. Next, I plan to manage the existing Lulutong stores well. After they gain a foothold in their respective states and the supply from the factories catches up, I will continue to open new stores."

"The products sold by Qilixiang require very high technical requirements. In order to ensure the quality of Qilixiang's products, we do not open a large number of stores. Currently, Qilixiang has only seven stores, all located in Qingzhou and Lanzhou."

"Jiangxinfang has successfully transformed from a custom store specializing in wooden products to a small supermarket with a variety of daily necessities and travel tools."

"The business model has also completely changed from a one-stop operation of production and sales to a model where stores are only responsible for sales, with the supply of goods being centrally allocated by the factory."

"All the carpenters and apprentices we recruited have gone to work in the furniture factory built by Jiangxinfang. The masters are responsible for furniture production and also for teaching the apprentices."

"There is a clear reward and punishment system. The masters are very serious about their work and teaching their apprentices. The apprentices are also willing to learn. The teaching progress is advancing by leaps and bounds. Many talented apprentices can already operate independently."

"Plus, the furniture factory adopts an assembly line production model, and the production speed of the furniture factory is getting faster and faster, and the number of finished furniture that can be sold to the outside world every day is increasing."

"Similar to the furniture factory, there are also the soap factory and toothbrush factory under the name of Jiangxinfang. The scale of these two factories is not as large as the furniture factory, but the efficiency is not low at all. The soap, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste and other products produced by the factories are very popular in the market. These are consumables with great market demand. It is expected that a new round of factory expansion and recruitment will be carried out after the new year."

"With sufficient supplies and a lot of financial support, the speed of opening branches of Jiangxinfang has surpassed that of other brands. Currently, it has 15 branches in four states and cities. It is expected that 12 more stores will be opened next year. If everything goes well, the number of Jiangxinfang stores will jump to the top three among existing brands next year."

"The business model of Piao Miao Pavilion is similar to that of Jiangxinfang. Both are factories that distribute goods uniformly. However, clothes are in short supply, so the development speed of Piao Miao Pavilion is faster than that of Jiangxinfang. Now, in addition to adult women's clothing, the store also has girls' clothing and four-piece suits. Piao Miao Pavilion has expanded to 17 stores in four states."

"Many people are not used to the bitter taste of Chinese medicine juice. The pills produced by Yiyaotang are easy to swallow and take effect quickly. They quickly won the favor of the market and quickly occupied a place in the medical field in Lanzhou."

"Treatment is different from other things. There is no quick way to learn. Lin Miao has sent out 'hero invitations', using pill prescriptions and golden needle techniques as bait to attract a large number of doctors to compete with her in medical skills. The winner can choose three pill prescriptions from the Medical Hall and leave. The loser must complete training in the Medical Hall's training class and sign a five-year contract with the Medical Hall to become a doctor in the Medical Hall and take on the task of teaching."

"That being said, Lin Miao doesn't accept just anyone, and she doesn't mean to exploit anyone. She pays doctors two to three times more than other clinics, and she will teach them the art of golden needles from time to time after they become doctors."

"At the beginning, the traveling doctors who came to participate in the challenge were all here for the three pill prescriptions. They did not take Lin Miao, a little female doctor, seriously. As a result, they all became her defeated opponents."

"Lin Miao selected the people with the best character among these people and informed them of the job benefits that he could provide to them. After considering the situation, most of the selected people chose to accept the loss."

"After listening to Lin Miao's two-month basic training, they have a new understanding of medicine and have made great progress in the treatment of various diseases. If they didn't have their own teachers and were not old enough, I'm afraid they would all want to switch to Lin Miao's school."

"After these people left, Lin Miao accelerated the construction of medical halls. Now, a large medical hall has been established in the main urban areas of Liuzhou, Qingzhou, and Lanzhou. Each medical hall is staffed by at least three experienced full-time doctors and ten doctors of various specialties taught by Lin Miao himself."

"With experienced doctors in charge, we don't have to worry about new doctors causing medical accidents due to lack of experience. They can also increase their treatment experience and medical skills in actual treatment."

"In addition to opening these three medical clinics, Lin Miao also opened a pharmaceutical factory. After the medical clinics were on the right track, she personally took charge of the pharmaceutical factory, controlling the quality of the pills while teaching new apprentices."

"Lin Miao told me about her plan. After she trains the new apprentices, she wants them to go to the Medical Hall to learn from their senior brothers and sisters how to apply the knowledge they have learned to reality."
